@@megotodesu4369 when you do couple of sentences with "SubjectA が/を VerbA. SubjectB が/を VerbB" construction and appears that two verbs you used are quite opposite, you can express the contrast between them even further by using は instead of both が/を (and put でも - but - at the start of second sentence). E.g. in the video: You either can say: Inu ga suki desu. Neko ga kirai desu. - I like dogs. I don't like cats. Or: Inu wa suki desu. Demo, neko wa kirai desu. - I like dogs, but i don't like cats. Either: Sakana o tabemasu. Niku o tabemasen. I eat fish. I don't eat meat. (を=o) Or: Sakana wa tabemasu. Demo, niku wa tabemasen. - I eat fish but i don't eat meat.
How I've memorized these - に - ・Tells us the destination of the action ・Time particle - で - ・Tells us where the action takes place - は - ・What is being talked about in a sentence. AKA Topic Marking Particle - が - ・Tells us who or what performs action ・ Subject of the verb - と - ・Meaning 'And' ・Indicates who you do something with - の - ・Indicates ownership (Basically the '' 's '' of Japanese) - へ - ・Indicates the direction of which someone or something moves ・A direction that goes away from the current location - 来 - ・To come - から - ・Starting Point ・Used to count from something to another - まで - ・Ending point ・Used for counting from something to another Example: 月曜日 (から) 金曜日 (まで) Monday (Start) Friday (End) Monday to Friday ------------------------------ Positive Ending Verb Tenses ~ます - Present ~ます - Future ~ました - Past ~ません - Present ~ません - Future ~ませんでした - Past - します - ・To do such and such | Future - しています - ・To be doing such and such | Present I hope I didn't get anything wrong. I find these exact definitions to be easiest. Even tho I know all these Particles, I still found it confusing with how they explained it in the video! I mean, they aren't wrong. But if I were just learning Japanese particles, Ild be confused as hell after this video
Assuming everything in your summary is correct ;) this is one of the most helpful summaries I've found of how particles are used. I was specifically confused as to why they used が rather than は in the sentence 部長が部下へ話します, but after reading your summary I realized it was because the director was performing the action (talking). This was not clear to me in the video's explanation. Thanks again!!!
To anyone reading this, I strongly recommend memorizing all Hiragana and Katakana first. It will reduce confusion significantly and speed up the learning process. Plus you won't need transliterations. This will significantly reduces cognitive overload since you are learning characters simultaneously with particles, allowing more effective study. Remember, don't stuff your brains with info, you wont learn anything, take it slow. You're capacity for learning will increase with time.
I felt proud of myself for learning hiragana and some katakana until I realized I still have to learn kanji too and the hardest part which will be learning what different words are there are thousands of words and kanji to learn ..
O downloaded this video some months ago, and said I'll only delete when I learn and understand everything. The time has come, and I'm so proud of myself for once 😔
When you finally understand a certain particle and how to use it then here comes another particle which looks like it have the same function and uses as the previous one. It's really confusing when you're trying to learn a new language. My mind just can't grasp it yet😅😅 But this vid is really helpful. Great job👍👍
Lj san, 😅,... I understand.... This seems to be very difficult for foreign speakers..but just for the time being... Slowly ...as u progress...this will get too easy for ya😉😊,... Believe me ..
By d way, I am risa😊,.. I teach Japanese from very basic at my channel... For japanese learners and specially beginners... I hope my lessons will help you clear your doubts😊,... U can check them out in case u need help...matane
The little smirk by Risa as she introduces each particle is basically saying "hahahah you don't stand a chance of learning this, but good luck anyway" 😂😂
They started giving out incorrect info starting from the first particle. Although not completely incorrect, you can say it’s misleading or not practical I guess
17:19 In my Japanese class, we learnt that when you're calling someone, the particle に is used. As in, "tomodachi ni denwa wo kakemashita." This makes perfect sense to my Bengali (an Indian language) speaking brain, because we have a direct equivalent of the ni particle in our language, even when the ni particle is used while indicating time or place. In "tomodachi ni denwa wo kakemashita", the に particle is basically performing the function of "to whom" (so, whom did you call? I called my friend.) Similarly, we've learnt that "I gave my dog pet food" would be "Watashino inu ni esa wo yarimashita"... Both these sentences are there in our text book using the particle に instead of the particle へ. Also, as per to my understanding, the particle へ is mostly used when indicating movement towards a place, so it's generally used with verbs like iku, kuru, kaeru, hairu, modoru etc. So the sentence in the video, "tomodachi e denwa o kakemashita" is confusing me to no end. Can someone please clarify why the particle へ is used here instead of に ? Thanks and sorry for the lengthy post
I literally just finished the Hiragana Video and it allowed me to memorize nearly all the characters in about two days of intense studying. These videos are a Godsend for anyone wanting to learn Japanese. Thank you JapanesePod101!

@@Blumaimn I dont know. I am a beginner myself. But I guess you dont HAVE to, still try those videos. They are incredible and you will be amazed how easy hiragana/katakana is to remember. The vocabulary videos I watched use hir/kat too. Anyway just learn however you want at the pace you decide :)
I love how the japenese lady keeps looking at the english one after she finishes talking and takes time to respond. I love it 'cause it's fearless. I think some people feel this need to respond as soon as the other person in the conversation has finished talking because of the akwardness and that rushes them to say silly things without real sense or meaning. This one takes her time.
ありがとございました！ I felt so lost with this topic in my Japanese class, I wonder why they don’t explain us the particles like this, I finally understand them. You two are AMAZING! 👏👏👏👏👏 I will subscribe to your channel right away!

35:30. To make a note about grammar here… yes, maybe, properly, we move words around to turn a statement to a question, but in English conversation, often, we do change that statement to a question only by changing the intonation, as well.. by use of tonal changes and emphasis, we do change the statement to a question…. But, I suppose, in the written word, it looks clearer to change the word order… and then add the question mark.
I think grammar is one of the best thinfs to learn first in a language so you can get a general idea of whats being talked about & just understand more & more as you learn more verns, nouns & adjectices. Especially if you’ve learned a language before.
I love how this video is a absolute must to understand japanese. Like immediately allot of things click the further I go. After I re watch the video one more time and take some notes, my listening comprehension will sky rocket!
I thought I was being greedy watching this video when I'm still in the learning alphabet and some kanji phase- but I was so happy that when I blocked out the romaji/english, I could both read and translate the sentences and knew some kanji (woman and child together meaning like, neko-I remember someone breaking it down as animal grass and rice field-etc). also reading kirai dinged something in my brain from when I did Japanese in primary, which is cool how some words sound familiar a decade later without practice. there's still forty minutes to go but I'm kind of excited cause the whole reversed sentenced structure is starting to come more naturally. trying to write out kanji off the top of my head was sad (50 characters-alot with similar radicals) but I can definitely read more than I can write. but I've only properly started kanji like two days ago so I shouldn't be expecting too much lol good luck everyone trying to learn Japanese!
Excellent training method. Introduction to a topic. Having a short time for the learner to try to remember how it’s formulated which makes the learner engage and learn effectively. Thanks for this!
I really appreciate the transliterations. for me I like to learn what a phrase means literally as much as possible especially when the grammar isnt understood 100% ありぎとございます
So the funny thing about Japanese is that a lot of things don’t have direct translations to English to you have to be able to open your mind to new concepts rather than looking for a direct translation.
particles in japanese are both a blessing and a curse. i‘m rather glad to have particles instead of a thousand different tenses or grammatical genders, yet it’s also very difficult to get used to this way of building sentences. i really enjoy it tho. your videos are nicely paced and i can easily listen to them while cooking or actively taking notes! ありがとうございます♪
This lesson is critical for foreigners who learn Japanese. I am so grateful for this valuable lesson and I have to review them these particles over and over. Thank u for ur efforts in teaching us.
some people comment that it is too fast etc..... please remember learning a language is nothing else but repetition, maybe you have to see it 10 times or 20 times. i mastered 8 languages but some books i read 10 -20 / 50 times
@@lokeshyadav819 there is a fun video about why medieval knights weren't just fancy-looking boiz, and why you as a simple recruited peasant wouldn't have any chance of winning against them. There was a line, I'm not sure if I remember it perfectly, but it said: "While you were grazing goats, he was training the sword. While you were drinking ale in the tavern, he was training the sword. While you were doing some love things with neighbor's daughter Shylah, he was training the sword". Same thing here.
As an absolute beginner, I find it WAY more useful to see the literal translations as opposed to the translation arranged for English. I can understand English arranged to reflect the way the Japanese arrange sentences, but when the translation is arranged to the English way I get super lost lol.
hi there... 😇good to see you learn japanese. I am リサ and i also teach Japanese at my channel.. You can check it out if you want.. Hope my lessons helps you😇.頑張ってください。😉
Actually, that's THE right way to learn Japanese. Also, if you know languages other tha English, try learning Japanese through those other languages. I was initially learning via English and Japanese seemed too hard to master untill to switches to learning via my native language (Tamil) which happens to have similar grammar rules as Japanese. Learning via English is THE hardest way to learn Japanese.
@@jaylucas8621 Yeah, but ga is used when a verb is included in a sentence with a subject. For example, I (ga) walked there. ga tells you that someone performed the action so it is easier to read the sentence. On the other hand, ka would only mark the subject and not that the subject had performed an action.
Great content! A TH-cam title that delivers to the expedition. As I study other materials I rewatch it from time to time. Things either make more sense or this gives a nice review. Thank you!
After learning hiragana and katakana, i think this jinkan should be prioritized because it will give sense to everything. Unlike memorizing sets of words each day not knowing how to. This of course only applies to complete beginner like me. So if you are a beginner. Learn Hiragana Katakana then Particles. Then proceed to making japanese rap songs!
hi there... 😇good to see you learn japanese. I am リサ and i also teach Japanese at my channel.. You can check it out if you want.. Hope my lessons helps you😇.頑張ってください。😉
I have about 6 weeks into learning Japanese, and I was having trouble understanding the meaning of the different particles. Learning Hiragana and Kitakana really helped me understand how these particles give meaning in sentences! Thank you so much for this video. It helped clarify a lot!
This channel is so produced that its easy to write it off as just a sales pitch, but I've watched many of their videos for a long time and the information is genuinely very useful and informative and in a digestable format.
I'd studied Japanese Language in the Japanese Cultural Center and the Japanese Association. My level was up to intermediate. It was more than ten years ago and it is so refreshing and easy going through this lesson. I have almost forgotten how to write but when it comes to reading, it is much easier. I like this tutorial. It is not too fast and the explanation is very clear. Thank you for this free lesson and hopefully I will remember and at least converse simple Japanese with my Japanese friend.
To anyone who might be reading this, there are some typos in the video, yeah. But not ALL of the information in the video is wrong. Teaching takes a lot of work and effort and some of the results can come out not to everyone's expectations. Just be glad that these types of videos are out there though. Free education like this is difficult to come by and you've gotta understand that there are also native Japanese speakers in these videos. So if there's a mistake, it must be a typo or something.
Great beginner video! but to new learns just know that this is far from ALL the particles like the video title suggests. The most important one they left out is よ (yo). There's also ね (ne), な (na), ぞ (zo), ぜ (ze), わ(wa) and a bunch others I'm sure. These are all sentence ending particles that change the nuance of a sentences and are used constantly in real conversational Japanese.
I don't know about the others, but I'm pretty sure わ(wa) isn't used as a particle. Instead, は (ha, wa) is. は is pronounce "ha" when used as part of a word/as a syllable, but pronounced "wa" when used as a particle.
Very helpful video.. I am half Japanese and have never learnt the grammar. But with lack of practice I sometimes forget about what particle to use and this video really helps. Thank you!
Glad this was here. I noticed amidst me learning the language that I was somewhat weak on the particles, what their uses were and where they should go in a sentence. So this is much appreciated, thanks.
I imagine that these are the systems of classification the Japanese grammarians have come up with. I have to say this is the first time I’m viewing your content, and the idea that somehow English is natural speech and languages with these post positional particles like Hungarian or Japanese or Finnish or somehow not natural is puzzling. if we just think of these particles as endings, sometimes the -wa will be equivalent to what in other languages is nominative, and it doesn’t matter where in the sentence they are (you see? Word order isn’t so fixed even in English).
In languages such as japanese the grammar is indeed the key part in mastering it and understanding, especially for a westerner. In english for example, it is kind of intuitive due to its simplicity at least that is how it was for me. I have never even looked up for the rules when I was studing it, with literally zero knowledge I dove into practice with complex sentences and was translating them into my native language tried to figure out the structure using only dictionaries for the words.
At 37:10 and 38:02, "紅茶"(こうちゃ)[koucha], means "black tea". Not just "tea". Also, on 45:44, within the third sentence you guys translated the verb form "作られています" as "is made" when it really should be "is being made" making it a future tense. I'm sure you guys knew that and it was just a typo. Either way, you guys did a fantastic job with this video!!!!! Thanks for uploading this!
Thank you so much!!! I watch some animes and this is making me getting hungry for learning japanese. But i find it so hard to learn the Kanji and such. I have somehow a ''gift'' to learn things when i'm alone and listening to it. So at least i know i can learn the japanese gramatic, how it's done, so i could at least form some setences and understand something else. I don't need to know the Kanji to speak japanese. That's the trick, at least for me who has a great difficulty in processing a lot of things at same time. Like a lot of people say, try to learn the Hiragana and Katakana or how to make a setence and it's particles and such just like i'm doing here right now. What i'm doing is the following: I opened my Block of notes and began writting some words translations, the particles meanings and how to use each one. Then right below, i'm writting the complete setences and it's meaning on the right side. Reading this over and over again will make me assimilate that more easily.
From what I have gathered, へ is used to describe movement in a certain direction but not necessarily to that location, like moving "towards" north. に Does indicate movement to an exact destination. Going to the mall. を is employed when an action is going to take place in a location. Shopping at the store.
Here are my notes. . . it's a lot. . . は Particle Comes after the topic of the sentence. Example: 明日は土曜日です。Translated: Tomorrow is Saturday. To show contrast, we can use は twice in a sentence. Example: 魚は食べます。でも、肉は食べません。Translated: I eat fish, but I do not eat meat. Example 2: 犬は好きです。でも、猫は嫌いです。Translated: I like dogs, but I do not like cats. This use of the particle は results in more contrast between the two things. を Particle Comes after the object of the sentence. Example: 私は肉を食べます。Translated: I eat meat. Example 2: 私はカレーを作りました。Translated: I made curry. Example 3: これをください。Translated: Please give me this one. The を particle is also used to indicate the place of movement. Example: 公園を歩きます。Translated: To walk through a park. Example 2: 橋を渡ります。Translated: To cross the bridge. Example: 亀は海を泳ぎます。Translated: Turtles swim in the sea. が Particle Comes after subject but can also mark the object in certain scenarios. Example: あそこに、コンビ二があります。Translated: There is a convenience store over there. Example 2: ペットがいます。Translated: There is a pet. (Means: I do not have a pet.) Example 3: 宿題があります。Translated: There is homework. (Means: I do not have homework.) Example 4: 母がいません。Translated: There is no mother. (Means: I do not have a mother.) We can attach 欲しいです at the end of a sentence to indicate desire to have the object. Example: 私は時間が欲しいです。Translated: I want time. Example 2: 私はピンクの車が欲しいです。Translated: I want a pink car. By attaching たい at the root of a verb (taking away ま and replacing it with たいです) we can show a want to do something. Example: 私はお茶が飲みたいです。Translated: I want to drink tea. Example 2: 私は肉が食べたいです。Translated: I want to eat meat. へ Particle It is pronounced え, and it usually indicates a direction or goal. Example: メキシコへ行きます。Translated: To go to Mexico. Example 2: 空港へ行きます。Translated: Go to the airport. Example 3: これは空港へ行きますか。Translated: Does this go to the airport. Example 4: 私は家へ帰ります。Translated: I am going home. Example 5: 日本へようこそ。Translated: Welcome to Japan. The へ particle can also mark a recipient in a sentence. Example: 友達へ電話をかけました。Translated: I called my friend. Example 2: 父へメールをしました。Translated: I emailed my father. に Particle This particle serves to mark locations. This particle is often used in sentence that end with either います or あります. Example: 駅に兄がいます。Translated: My brother is at the station. Example 2: 兄はチェコに住みます。Translated: My brother lives in the Czech Republic. Example 3: 父はお店にいます。Translated: My father is at the store. The に particle can also be translated at “in” “on” and “at” It indicates a point in time when something takes place. Example: 七時に起きます。Translated: I wake up at 7 o’clock. Example 2: 月曜日に帰ります。Translated: I will be back on Monday. Example 3: 六月に日本へ行きます。Translated: I am going to Japan in June. Example 4: 土曜日に駅へ帰ります。Translated: I will return to the station on Saturday. The に particle CANNOT follow relative time expressions. Like today, tomorrow, or next year. で Particle This particle marks locations, means of doing something, materials something is made from, or a reason for something. Location marking: The particle で marks where an action takes place. Example: 駅で会いましょう。Let’s meet at the station. Example 2: 学校で日本語を勉強しています。I study Japanese at my school. Example 3: 家で寿司を食べます。I eat sushi at my house. Means of transportation: Example: 姉は電車でプラハに帰りました。My sister returned to Prague by train. Example: 私はバスで駅に行きます。I take a bus to the station. Marking the instrument/tool used to do something: Example: 私は包丁で寿司を切ります。I cut sushi with a kitchen knife. Example 2: 英語で言ってください。Please say it in English. Indicating the material something is made of or from: Example: 私は木でテーブルを作りました。I made a table out of wood. Example 2: 小麦で出来でいます。It is made with wheat. Example 3: 寿司を手で食べます。I eat sushi with my hand. で CANNOT be used with verbs that express existence. They include: あります、 います、住んでいます、and 勤めています. の Particle The の particle shows possession. Example: リサの車です。This is Risa’s car. Example 2: 私の家です。It is my house. Example 3: これは私のです。This is mine. Example 4: これはケンさんの鞄ですか。Is this Ken’s bag? Using の to show attributes of a certain object: Example: 英語の先生 English teacher Example 2: 桜の花 Flower of cherry (Cherry blossom) Example 3: 私の友達の名前はカイです。My friend’s name is Kai. Example 4: 日本の車が好きです。I like Japanese cars. と Particle The と particle connects parts of the sentence. It translates as “and” in certain scenarios. Example: アとイ translates as A and I Example 2: アとイとエ translates as A, I, and E Example 3: ハンバーガーと天ぷらとコーラをください。Can I please have a hamburger, tempura, and a coke? Example 4: 肉と魚が好きです。I like meat and fish. Using と to say “together” or “with” Example: 兄と姉は寿司を食べます。My brother and sister eat sushi. Example 2: 父と英語の先生は話です。My father and my English teacher are talking. か Particle The か particle is a question particle because adding it to the end of a sentence will make it a question. Example: パパはアメリカ人です。My dad is an American. VS パパはアメリカ人ですか。Is my dad an American? Example: 何月ですか。What month is it? Informal sentences: In informal Japanese, か is replaced with の. Example: クミは英語がわかる. Kumi understands English. VS クミは英語がわかるの？Does Kumi understand English? Using か to indicate choices. か can sometimes mean “or” Example: お茶かコーヒが飲みたいです。I want to drink tea or coffee. Example 2: バスか車で駅に行きたいです。I want to go to the station by car or bus. Example 3: お茶かコーラかコーヒーがあります。There is tea, cola, or coffee. も Particle The も particle usually follows a noun and mean “too” or “also” It can replace the particles は, が, and を. Example: 父はアメリカ人です。私もアメリカ人です。My father is an American. I am also an American. (We replaced は with も in the second sentence.) Example 2: 私も Me too Example 3: これは私のです。それも私のです。This is mine. That is also mine. Using も to emphasize the amount or extent of something: Example: エミさんは漢字を５０００字も知っています。Emi knows 5,000 kanji. (By using も, the speaker emphasizes the amount of kanji Emi knows.) Example 2: ２００万円もかかります。It costs 2 million yen. (Again, using も instead of は or が emphasizes the amount of money it costs.) Example 3: その本は十回も読みました。I read that book ten times. から Particle This particle tells us when or where something begins. It often means “from” Example: 三時からミーティングがあります。There is a meeting at 3 o’clock. Example 2: ここから駅へ行きます。I will go to the station from here. Example 3: ベルリンから車で行きました。I went from Berlin by car. Using から to indicate materials: から (unlike で) is only used to indicate material when the final product does not resemble the material. When the material is of obvious nature, use で. When the material has went through somewhat complex process, use either から or で. Example: 米からお酒を作ります。I make sake from rice. まで Particle The まで particle shows when and/or where does an action end. It can be translated as “until” Example: 明日まで待ちます。I will wait until tomorrow. Example 2: 駅まで帰ります。I will return to the station. Example 3: 八時まで読みます。I will read until 8 o’clock. The まで particle can also indicate limit, extend, or an unexpected object. Example: 魚が好きです。骨まで食べます。I like fish. I even eat the bones.
Superb Japanese lesson. I heard explanations I have never read in Japanese books. I think my Japanese will improve thanks to your free online lessons. You are very kind. Thank you very much.
I feel like they could have described better how the different particles worked together. Maybe pointed out quickly when they popped up later in other sentences.

Can you explain to me what does it mean by "to show contrast"?
Somebody give this man a beer kudasai!
Yeah, but you should write those particles in English script too.
@@megotodesu4369 when you do couple of sentences with "SubjectA が/を VerbA. SubjectB が/を VerbB" construction and appears that two verbs you used are quite opposite, you can express the contrast between them even further by using は instead of both が/を (and put でも - but - at the start of second sentence).
E.g. in the video:
You either can say: Inu ga suki desu. Neko ga kirai desu. - I like dogs. I don't like cats.
Or: Inu wa suki desu. Demo, neko wa kirai desu. - I like dogs, but i don't like cats.
Either: Sakana o tabemasu. Niku o tabemasen. I eat fish. I don't eat meat. (を=o)
Or: Sakana wa tabemasu. Demo, niku wa tabemasen. - I eat fish but i don't eat meat.
How I've memorized these
- に -
・Tells us the destination of the action
・Time particle
- で -
・Tells us where the action takes place
- は -
・What is being talked about in a sentence. AKA Topic Marking Particle
- が -
・Tells us who or what performs action
・ Subject of the verb
- と -
・Meaning 'And'
・Indicates who you do something with
- の -
・Indicates ownership (Basically the '' 's '' of Japanese)
- へ -
・Indicates the direction of which someone or something moves
・A direction that goes away from the current location
- 来 -
・To come
- から -
・Starting Point
・Used to count from something to another
- まで -
・Ending point
・Used for counting from something to another
Example:
月曜日 (から) 金曜日 (まで)
Monday (Start) Friday (End)
Monday to Friday
------------------------------
Positive Ending Verb Tenses
~ます - Present
~ます - Future
~ました - Past
~ません - Present
~ません - Future
~ませんでした - Past
- します -
・To do such and such | Future
- しています -
・To be doing such and such | Present
I hope I didn't get anything wrong. I find these exact definitions to be easiest.
Even tho I know all these Particles, I still found it confusing with how they explained it in the video!
I mean, they aren't wrong. But if I were just learning Japanese particles, Ild be confused as hell after this video
I am, and I'm not confused after this video.
Assuming everything in your summary is correct ;) this is one of the most helpful summaries I've found of how particles are used.
I was specifically confused as to why they used が rather than は in the sentence 部長が部下へ話します, but after reading your summary I realized it was because the director was performing the action (talking). This was not clear to me in the video's explanation.
Thanks again!!!

To anyone reading this, I strongly recommend memorizing all Hiragana and Katakana first. It will reduce confusion significantly and speed up the learning process. Plus you won't need transliterations.
This will significantly reduces cognitive overload since you are learning characters simultaneously with particles, allowing more effective study. Remember, don't stuff your brains with info, you wont learn anything, take it slow. You're capacity for learning will increase with time.
Degetei I DONT FUCKING KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS LESSON
Yeah that's what i did so when i saw this I could parse out what they were instructing and what they sort of left out.
Danka
After learning hiragana and katana, learn the japanese vocabs😅
Don't "memorize". LEARN
towards the end of the video I was actually translating the sentences before the translation and it felt so good omg
no samee i feel so good when actually understand.

Good! I'm just learning sentence structure.
@@LukainX yes grammar is very important
One day I'll be that guy who understands it 🤗😅
I felt proud of myself for learning hiragana and some katakana until I realized I still have to learn kanji too and the hardest part which will be learning what different words are there are thousands of words and kanji to learn ..
Same here
Check out their series where they teach the Kanji radicals! It’s very helpful for starting to learn Kanji. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
John G, it's funny because I find learning Kanji much easier than Hiragana & Katakana.

When you finally understand a certain particle and how to use it then here comes another particle which looks like it have the same function and uses as the previous one. It's really confusing when you're trying to learn a new language. My mind just can't grasp it yet😅😅
But this vid is really helpful. Great job👍👍
Lj san,
😅,... I understand.... This seems to be very difficult for foreign speakers..but just for the time being...
Slowly ...as u progress...this will get too easy for ya😉😊,... Believe me ..

マシュマロチョコレート it kind of confused me at the 7 Minute mark though I didn't dislike it
They started giving out incorrect info starting from the first particle. Although not completely incorrect, you can say it’s misleading or not practical I guess
マシュマロチョコレート, their info isn't useful as they don't show you which particles are meant to be where for all types of particle pairings.
@@TrezCast Such as?
I wonder that about a lot of TH-cam videos.
17:19 In my Japanese class, we learnt that when you're calling someone, the particle に is used. As in, "tomodachi ni denwa wo kakemashita." This makes perfect sense to my Bengali (an Indian language) speaking brain, because we have a direct equivalent of the ni particle in our language, even when the ni particle is used while indicating time or place. In "tomodachi ni denwa wo kakemashita", the に particle is basically performing the function of "to whom" (so, whom did you call? I called my friend.) Similarly, we've learnt that "I gave my dog pet food" would be "Watashino inu ni esa wo yarimashita"... Both these sentences are there in our text book using the particle に instead of the particle へ. Also, as per to my understanding, the particle へ is mostly used when indicating movement towards a place, so it's generally used with verbs like iku, kuru, kaeru, hairu, modoru etc. So the sentence in the video, "tomodachi e denwa o kakemashita" is confusing me to no end. Can someone please clarify why the particle へ is used here instead of に ? Thanks and sorry for the lengthy post
A bit old, but for reference に and へ often serve the same function. Which is to say usually へ can be replaced by に. Not vice versa though
I literally just finished the Hiragana Video and it allowed me to memorize nearly all the characters in about two days of intense studying. These videos are a Godsend for anyone wanting to learn Japanese. Thank you JapanesePod101!

The vocabulary videos I watched use hir/kat too.
Anyway just learn however you want at the pace you decide :)

This video was extremely informative. I need to watch this many times over. Thank you very much!
I love how the japenese lady keeps looking at the english one after she finishes talking and takes time to respond. I love it 'cause it's fearless. I think some people feel this need to respond as soon as the other person in the conversation has finished talking because of the akwardness and that rushes them to say silly things without real sense or meaning. This one takes her time.
So like half of the particles indicate location? Great xD
I know right 😒😢😂
I did not know Wo could indicate movement as well. It really threw me off because I had always that Ni and He served that purpose.

35:30. To make a note about grammar here… yes, maybe, properly, we move words around to turn a statement to a question, but in English conversation, often, we do change that statement to a question only by changing the intonation, as well.. by use of tonal changes and emphasis, we do change the statement to a question…. But, I suppose, in the written word, it looks clearer to change the word order… and then add the question mark.
I think grammar is one of the best thinfs to learn first in a language so you can get a general idea of whats being talked about & just understand more & more as you learn more verns, nouns & adjectices. Especially if you’ve learned a language before.
I love how this video is a absolute must to understand japanese. Like immediately allot of things click the further I go. After I re watch the video one more time and take some notes, my listening comprehension will sky rocket!
I thought I was being greedy watching this video when I'm still in the learning alphabet and some kanji phase- but I was so happy that when I blocked out the romaji/english, I could both read and translate the sentences and knew some kanji (woman and child together meaning like, neko-I remember someone breaking it down as animal grass and rice field-etc). also reading kirai dinged something in my brain from when I did Japanese in primary, which is cool how some words sound familiar a decade later without practice. there's still forty minutes to go but I'm kind of excited cause the whole reversed sentenced structure is starting to come more naturally.
trying to write out kanji off the top of my head was sad (50 characters-alot with similar radicals) but I can definitely read more than I can write. but I've only properly started kanji like two days ago so I shouldn't be expecting too much lol
good luck everyone trying to learn Japanese!
Excellent training method. Introduction to a topic. Having a short time for the learner to try to remember how it’s formulated which makes the learner engage and learn effectively. Thanks for this!

I really appreciate the transliterations. for me I like to learn what a phrase means literally as much as possible especially when the grammar isnt understood 100% ありぎとございます
I can actually read what you said at the end now lol learning japanese is amazing. I only know hiragana and some kanji and katakana though.
@Pr.incorporated hahahaha yep i was confused as hell. "arigitou gozaimasu"😭
I'm glad you pointed that out.
he also missed the u.
So the funny thing about Japanese is that a lot of things don’t have direct translations to English to you have to be able to open your mind to new concepts rather than looking for a direct translation.
Studying the second level of Japanese, this video becomes highly helpfull in sorting the japanaese particles.
Thank you so much!
particles in japanese are both a blessing and a curse.
i‘m rather glad to have particles instead of a thousand different tenses or grammatical genders, yet it’s also very difficult to get used to this way of building sentences. i really enjoy it tho.
your videos are nicely paced and i can easily listen to them while cooking or actively taking notes! ありがとうございます♪
This lesson is critical for foreigners who learn Japanese. I am so grateful for this valuable lesson and I have to review them these particles over and over. Thank u for ur efforts in teaching us.
I like the positive feeling i get when i read these example sentences and understand what it means
It shows i really am learning!
some people comment that it is too fast etc..... please remember learning a language is nothing else but repetition, maybe you have to see it 10 times or 20 times. i mastered 8 languages but some books i read 10 -20 / 50 times
Can u tell me in detail how u have learned 8 languages..
@@lokeshyadav819 there is a fun video about why medieval knights weren't just fancy-looking boiz, and why you as a simple recruited peasant wouldn't have any chance of winning against them.

As an absolute beginner, I find it WAY more useful to see the literal translations as opposed to the translation arranged for English. I can understand English arranged to reflect the way the Japanese arrange sentences, but when the translation is arranged to the English way I get super lost lol.

Actually, that's THE right way to learn Japanese. Also, if you know languages other tha English, try learning Japanese through those other languages. I was initially learning via English and Japanese seemed too hard to master untill to switches to learning via my native language (Tamil) which happens to have similar grammar rules as Japanese. Learning via English is THE hardest way to learn Japanese.
Or read it backwards japanese i mean it work for me
Been learning for about 7 months now and I will say this helps a lot! Arigato!
This video not only helped me learn about particles, it also helped me learn some Kanji along the way! ありがとうございます
can you do a video on the differences between them? In many cases it seems like you can use two or more.... it´s so confusing
oh
Haha ikr!! I thought I understood を but then が is soooo similar
@@jaylucas8621 Yeah, but ga is used when a verb is included in a sentence with a subject. For example, I (ga) walked there. ga tells you that someone performed the action so it is easier to read the sentence. On the other hand, ka would only mark the subject and not that the subject had performed an action.
I need a differnce between 'masu' and 'mashita'. I don't get when to use them after a verb...?
just like "NI" and "DE" in the context of marking the location.
Great content!
A TH-cam title that delivers to the expedition.
As I study other materials I rewatch it from time to time. Things either make more sense or this gives a nice review.
Thank you!
After learning hiragana and katakana, i think this jinkan should be prioritized because it will give sense to everything. Unlike memorizing sets of words each day not knowing how to. This of course only applies to complete beginner like me.
So if you are a beginner. Learn Hiragana Katakana then Particles. Then proceed to making japanese rap songs!

Japanese pod101 is really helpful. Thanks Risa and Alisha fro explaining that. I was confused before. Thumbs up!
Our 先生 also taught us that the particle から is also used to mark the reason of something.
I have about 6 weeks into learning Japanese, and I was having trouble understanding the meaning of the different particles. Learning Hiragana and Kitakana really helped me understand how these particles give meaning in sentences! Thank you so much for this video. It helped clarify a lot!
I just love these videos! This one really helps me with the particles. And I love the dress Risa is wearing 🤗 ありがとう！
This was so helpful! honto ni, arigatou!!. It's great to see in the comment section people sharing their notes and tips. Also thx!
This channel is so produced that its easy to write it off as just a sales pitch, but I've watched many of their videos for a long time and the information is genuinely very useful and informative and in a digestable format.
Are you still watching? Have you learned Japanese?
I'd studied Japanese Language in the Japanese Cultural Center and the Japanese Association. My level was up to intermediate. It was more than ten years ago and it is so refreshing and easy going through this lesson. I have almost forgotten how to write but when it comes to reading, it is much easier. I like this tutorial. It is not too fast and the explanation is very clear. Thank you for this free lesson and hopefully I will remember and at least converse simple Japanese with my Japanese friend.
I like how risa smile after she introducing the particle
This is the correct way to teach
This is so enlightening. God bless these individuals for make this free.
This Ken fella they keep talking about seems like a really worldly dude. Good for him.
To anyone who might be reading this, there are some typos in the video, yeah. But not ALL of the information in the video is wrong. Teaching takes a lot of work and effort and some of the results can come out not to everyone's expectations. Just be glad that these types of videos are out there though. Free education like this is difficult to come by and you've gotta understand that there are also native Japanese speakers in these videos. So if there's a mistake, it must be a typo or something.
Can you please tell where are the typos in this videos. I want to learn correct grammer with correct words. It will be a great help.
Great beginner video! but to new learns just know that this is far from ALL the particles like the video title suggests. The most important one they left out is よ (yo). There's also ね (ne), な (na), ぞ (zo), ぜ (ze), わ(wa) and a bunch others I'm sure. These are all sentence ending particles that change the nuance of a sentences and are used constantly in real conversational Japanese.
I don't know about the others, but I'm pretty sure わ(wa) isn't used as a particle. Instead, は (ha, wa) is. は is pronounce "ha" when used as part of a word/as a syllable, but pronounced "wa" when used as a particle.
Very helpful video.. I am half Japanese and have never learnt the grammar. But with lack of practice I sometimes forget about what particle to use and this video really helps. Thank you!

I imagine that these are the systems of classification the Japanese grammarians have come up with. I have to say this is the first time I’m viewing your content, and the idea that somehow English is natural speech and languages with these post positional particles like Hungarian or Japanese or Finnish or somehow not natural is puzzling. if we just think of these particles as endings, sometimes the -wa will be equivalent to what in other languages is nominative, and it doesn’t matter where
in the sentence they are (you see? Word order isn’t so fixed even in English).
People sorely underestimate grammar in learning a language. Knowing particles puts everything together...literally.
In languages such as japanese the grammar is indeed the key part in mastering it and understanding, especially for a westerner. In english for example, it is kind of intuitive due to its simplicity at least that is how it was for me. I have never even looked up for the rules when I was studing it, with literally zero knowledge I dove into practice with complex sentences and was translating them into my native language tried to figure out the structure using only dictionaries for the words.
ありがとう! It' helps me to improve a lot😊
The 'u' at the end is not required right? It's just arigato
At 37:10 and 38:02, "紅茶"(こうちゃ)[koucha], means "black tea". Not just "tea". Also, on 45:44, within the third sentence you guys translated the verb form "作られています" as "is made" when it really should be "is being made" making it a future tense. I'm sure you guys knew that and it was just a typo. Either way, you guys did a fantastic job with this video!!!!! Thanks for uploading this!
Making it a present progresive tense*
thanks for pointing this out appreciate it.
that's not future tense. that's present progressive tense.
Thank you so much!!!
I watch some animes and this is making me getting hungry for learning japanese. But i find it so hard to learn the Kanji and such. I have somehow a ''gift'' to learn things when i'm alone and listening to it. So at least i know i can learn the japanese gramatic, how it's done, so i could at least form some setences and understand something else. I don't need to know the Kanji to speak japanese. That's the trick, at least for me who has a great difficulty in processing a lot of things at same time.
Like a lot of people say, try to learn the Hiragana and Katakana or how to make a setence and it's particles and such just like i'm doing here right now. What i'm doing is the following:
I opened my Block of notes and began writting some words translations, the particles meanings and how to use each one. Then right below, i'm writting the complete setences and it's meaning on the right side. Reading this over and over again will make me assimilate that more easily.
Great content and substance, would be awesome if the delivery and package were more natural and less corporate.
21:45 That was a perfect R sound!
Thank you so much. That's exactly what I need!
As a Turkish these particles are reaaally easy. I never knew our grammar rules were so similar.
From what I have gathered,
へ is used to describe movement in a certain direction but not necessarily to that location, like moving "towards" north.
に Does indicate movement to an exact destination. Going to the mall.
を is employed when an action is going to take place in a location. Shopping at the store.
This the video compilation that I waiting for👌
I can't understand some particles really. thank you for teaching us!!❤

Here are my notes. . . it's a lot. . .
は Particle
Comes after the topic of the sentence.
Example: 明日は土曜日です。Translated: Tomorrow is Saturday.
To show contrast, we can use は twice in a sentence.
Example: 魚は食べます。でも、肉は食べません。Translated: I eat fish, but I do not eat meat.
Example 2: 犬は好きです。でも、猫は嫌いです。Translated: I like dogs, but I do not like cats.
This use of the particle は results in more contrast between the two things.
を Particle
Comes after the object of the sentence.
Example: 私は肉を食べます。Translated: I eat meat.
Example 2: 私はカレーを作りました。Translated: I made curry.
Example 3: これをください。Translated: Please give me this one.
The を particle is also used to indicate the place of movement.
Example: 公園を歩きます。Translated: To walk through a park.
Example 2: 橋を渡ります。Translated: To cross the bridge.
Example: 亀は海を泳ぎます。Translated: Turtles swim in the sea.
が Particle
Comes after subject but can also mark the object in certain scenarios.

We can attach 欲しいです at the end of a sentence to indicate desire to have the object.
Example: 私は時間が欲しいです。Translated: I want time.
Example 2: 私はピンクの車が欲しいです。Translated: I want a pink car.
By attaching たい at the root of a verb (taking away ま and replacing it with たいです) we can show a want to do something.
Example: 私はお茶が飲みたいです。Translated: I want to drink tea.
Example 2: 私は肉が食べたいです。Translated: I want to eat meat.
へ Particle
It is pronounced え, and it usually indicates a direction or goal.
Example: メキシコへ行きます。Translated: To go to Mexico.
Example 2: 空港へ行きます。Translated: Go to the airport.
Example 3: これは空港へ行きますか。Translated: Does this go to the airport.
Example 4: 私は家へ帰ります。Translated: I am going home.

The へ particle can also mark a recipient in a sentence.
Example: 友達へ電話をかけました。Translated: I called my friend.
Example 2: 父へメールをしました。Translated: I emailed my father.
に Particle
This particle serves to mark locations. This particle is often used in sentence that end with either います or あります.
Example: 駅に兄がいます。Translated: My brother is at the station.
Example 2: 兄はチェコに住みます。Translated: My brother lives in the Czech Republic.
Example 3: 父はお店にいます。Translated: My father is at the store.
The に particle can also be translated at “in” “on” and “at”
It indicates a point in time when something takes place.
Example: 七時に起きます。Translated: I wake up at 7 o’clock.
Example 2: 月曜日に帰ります。Translated: I will be back on Monday.
Example 3: 六月に日本へ行きます。Translated: I am going to Japan in June.
Example 4: 土曜日に駅へ帰ります。Translated: I will return to the station on Saturday.
The に particle CANNOT follow relative time expressions. Like today, tomorrow, or next year.
で Particle
This particle marks locations, means of doing something, materials something is made from, or a reason for something.
Location marking:
The particle で marks where an action takes place.
Example: 駅で会いましょう。Let’s meet at the station.
Example 2: 学校で日本語を勉強しています。I study Japanese at my school.
Example 3: 家で寿司を食べます。I eat sushi at my house.
Means of transportation:
Example: 姉は電車でプラハに帰りました。My sister returned to Prague by train.
Example: 私はバスで駅に行きます。I take a bus to the station.
Marking the instrument/tool used to do something:
Example: 私は包丁で寿司を切ります。I cut sushi with a kitchen knife.

Example 2: 私の家です。It is my house.
Example 3: これは私のです。This is mine.
Example 4: これはケンさんの鞄ですか。Is this Ken’s bag?
Using の to show attributes of a certain object:
Example: 英語の先生 English teacher
Example 2: 桜の花 Flower of cherry (Cherry blossom)
Example 3: 私の友達の名前はカイです。My friend’s name is Kai.
Example 4: 日本の車が好きです。I like Japanese cars.
と Particle
The と particle connects parts of the sentence. It translates as “and” in certain scenarios.
Example: アとイ translates as A and I
Example 2: アとイとエ translates as A, I, and E
Example 3: ハンバーガーと天ぷらとコーラをください。Can I please have a hamburger, tempura, and a coke?
Example 4: 肉と魚が好きです。I like meat and fish.
Using と to say “together” or “with”
Example: 兄と姉は寿司を食べます。My brother and sister eat sushi.
Example 2: 父と英語の先生は話です。My father and my English teacher are talking.
か Particle
The か particle is a question particle because adding it to the end of a sentence will make it a question.
Example: パパはアメリカ人です。My dad is an American. VS パパはアメリカ人ですか。Is my dad an American?
Example: 何月ですか。What month is it?
Informal sentences:
In informal Japanese, か is replaced with の.
Example: クミは英語がわかる. Kumi understands English. VS クミは英語がわかるの？Does Kumi understand English?
Using か to indicate choices.
か can sometimes mean “or”
Example: お茶かコーヒが飲みたいです。I want to drink tea or coffee.
Example 2: バスか車で駅に行きたいです。I want to go to the station by car or bus.
Example 3: お茶かコーラかコーヒーがあります。There is tea, cola, or coffee.
も Particle
The も particle usually follows a noun and mean “too” or “also”
It can replace the particles は, が, and を.
Example: 父はアメリカ人です。私もアメリカ人です。My father is an American. I am also an American. (We replaced は with も in the second sentence.)
Example 2: 私も Me too
Example 3: これは私のです。それも私のです。This is mine. That is also mine.
Using も to emphasize the amount or extent of something:
Example: エミさんは漢字を５０００字も知っています。Emi knows 5,000 kanji.
(By using も, the speaker emphasizes the amount of kanji Emi knows.)
Example 2: ２００万円もかかります。It costs 2 million yen.
(Again, using も instead of は or が emphasizes the amount of money it costs.)
Example 3: その本は十回も読みました。I read that book ten times.
から Particle
This particle tells us when or where something begins. It often means “from”
Example: 三時からミーティングがあります。There is a meeting at 3 o’clock.
Example 2: ここから駅へ行きます。I will go to the station from here.
Example 3: ベルリンから車で行きました。I went from Berlin by car.
Using から to indicate materials:
から (unlike で) is only used to indicate material when the final product does not resemble the material.
When the material is of obvious nature, use で.
When the material has went through somewhat complex process, use either から or で.
Example: 米からお酒を作ります。I make sake from rice.
まで Particle
The まで particle shows when and/or where does an action end.
It can be translated as “until”
Example: 明日まで待ちます。I will wait until tomorrow.
Example 2: 駅まで帰ります。I will return to the station.
Example 3: 八時まで読みます。I will read until 8 o’clock.
The まで particle can also indicate limit, extend, or an unexpected object.
Example: 魚が好きです。骨まで食べます。I like fish. I even eat the bones.
Great and helpfully thank you

So what is the difference between the particles "ni" and "de" when it comes to marking location? Why are they both called the "location" particle?
Nice explanatory video. I think that by stating that the "no" particle is also equal to " 's", it's use will be made further clear.
incredible talent to teach
i love your teaching
